I received my pixel a couple days after they became available. Most of the time it sounds decent, I have been using it daily for work WebEx stuff etc... At times if I play music or a game the speakers sound like they are blown, other times no issues. Today I made a video call on Google Hangouts with the default ringtone and it sounded like the left speaker was shot. I played a couple music tracks to see if I could hear any problems and it sounded fine? Anyone else having this problem?
Zip file included with a wav sample of what I am hearing.
Just a quick update, I called Google support and they asked me to hard reset it (typical). They could hear it over the phone, and had me reboot in safe mode still the same issue (also typical). It's weird it only seems to happen sometimes. They also offered to replace the device, but I don't believe it's a hardware issue. Hoping to hear if anyone else is experiencing this.
I am experiencing fuzziness and lag on my speaker. Everytime my phone is sitting and I receive something the notification sound has this fuzziness and distortion feels like lag. I don't have any device to record the situation but I'll ask my friend to lend me her phone and update this thread

Check this out i was playing notification ringtone and can still hear the fuzziness or distortion. Do you think I have defective unit or is it software related?
Edit 2: solved by factory reset
Hi, is anyone experiencing distorted notifications, even alarms?
They are not full distorted but some chips and a little distortion but not in the whole sound file.
In the official forums there are a few with this problem.
I´m on 4.7.5, not rooted, no tweaking sound apps. Factory reseted after 4.7.5 update. It happens sometimes and a rebooting fixes it. I don´t know how to reproduce it.
Thanks
Alright guys, I've got a problem I haven't quite dealt with before:
I've got no sound coming from my "external" phone speakers. The in-ear speaker works fine, and so does the mic. That means I can take phone calls just fine. Listening to Whatsapp voice messages is a challenge because Whatsapp uses the speakers which means the message plays with no sound, that is until I hold the phone to my face and the prox switch tells the app to play through the ear speaker. No YouTube videos or Snapchat sounds.
I looked around the forums and such but didn't find anything. I've checked all the system settings I know to check, but nothing I can find is "muting" the sound. My apps list is fairly standard. Stock rom and kernel, unlocked since day 1 but without even a recovery installed. Basically a factory phone.
What are you guys thinking? I'm happy to try basically anything. Even thinking of slapping a ROM into this beast to see what happens, although I doubt there's too much development going on for a 2yo phone...
Cheers!
Update:
I've got intermittent sound. I haven't opened the phone and have no reason to think water ingress could be the problem, but I can't think of a reason that the speakers would work intermittently. Sounds more like a hardware problem than a software problem to me. Anyone else?
It also happened to me except I didn't have any sound coming from both speaker and the earpiece. Not sure what happened though.

Well it only has one speaker. As for the others most likely hardware related.

Weirdly, I'm stuck in unreliable-sound limbo. I get sound most of the time, but speaker sound disappears occasionally with no predictability that I've found. Interestingly, If I mash or smack the bottom of the phone phone screen by the speakers, sometimes sound will come back on briefly or entirely. Weird, huh? Not sure what could be causing a connection problem. Maybe I'll open up the phone eventually and find out.
If I turn up more than halfway with certain audio {music and videos} the speaker distorts. Like a crackling sound. Anyone else experience this? Guess I need to return.
Look over all the sound settings first but it sounds like that one is going back...
